“We were very thankful for Nicole and Eddie’s availability on short notice when we needed to go out of town for the day. Both Teaka and Ciera were so excited when we arrived and they were very happy with their stay. They treated our girls like their own which put our minds at ease. I would totally recommend their services.”
“Laura was wonderful! I was very impressed by the thoroughness of her questions during our "meet and greet" visit. Laura was so aware and attentive to my senior dog Tyson's needs during his day spent with her. Looking forward to our next visit!”
About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.
“Jacqueline and Jamie have once again taken AMAZING care of Nelly! They are thoughtful and considerate people that truly care about the wellbeing of all the dogs they look after. Nelly is a tired, happy girl when we pick her up after day care and there is no doubt that she received so much love and attention in their care. I would recommend Jacqueline and Jamie to anyone in the area, your dog will be extremely lucky and well taken care of!”
“Guinness enjoyed her day with Jason and Bella. She always has such a wonderful time and is so well looked after when she’s there. She comes home tired from a full day of playing and fun”
“My pup spent the day with Jennifer and her husband. Both of them love dogs and you feel that immediately. I felt secure that my pup would be well taken care of, and as a bonus, I got pictures and updates on how he was doing! I will definitely book with them again soon!”
“Maggie had a great time at Sarah's house and came home nice and tired! Sarah was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. We've already scheduled another day of daycare.”
“Lei is a reliable and friendly sitter. Was great with communication and is very responsible. Took great care of our dog and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Keva got to spend a day with Alaina and a few of her furry friends while the parents were at an event. Keva came home tired and happy. How wonderful that she was able to play with new friends instead of staying home alone. We have already booked with Alaina again!”
“Chantal is fantastic with my Jax! Jax has been for an overnight stay and a couple of doggy daycare stays so far, and he is always so happy to see Chantal, her pup Fergus and the other pups that are in her care. He has so much fun with them, and is very well cared for.”
“Laura is so nice and kind. Willow loves going to her house. Laura sends you pictures and videos and it make me feel great to see willow so happy on her walks and sleeping so peaceful. I would recommend Laura to watch your dog. This was my second time and I will continue to let Laura watch Willow”
“Reiley took great care of Maui again. He was asleep on the drive home within minutes. Thank you so much. It’s so comforting to know he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!!!”
“Rebecca and her kids took great care of Oreo, he had lots of fun playing in their backyard. Rebecca made sure we got updates throughout the day with lots of pictures. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was kind and warm at the meet & greet and, fortunately for me, was available to provide daycare on fairly short notice for my recently adopted older dog. I felt confident that Misty was in safe and caring hands. She came home tired and happy after a full day of fun and attention.”
“So happy that we were so lucky to have Trudy care for Bella today. We look forward to Trudy taking care of her in the future. Bella I'm sure will be telling us all about the "girls" day.”
About: I am a registered veterinary technician who works at an emergency clinic. I have been working with animals my whole life. I have been fostering dogs for the last 5 years, providing them with training and helping them find their forever homes once they are ready. I have recently started boarding dogs at my house as I moved to a farm and had the land and space to run them and give them everything they need. I would offer additional services with my boarding if the client would like, these services would included training, nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I have two high energy dogs who need a lot of time running off leash per day. I am always taking them in the bush, on the trails, on hikes or on bike rides to tire them out. The best suited dog to board with me would be one that is successful off leash with recall, as we spend 2 hours per day off leash in the bush as well as off leash time in my yard. I live on 5 acres so there is many opportunity to run and play. My dogs are very good with new dogs coming into our home as they are use to me bringing home new fosters very often. Both of them are crate trained, place trained and e collar trained and are very respectful of other dogs space. They like to wrestle and play when the time is right, and know when it is time to rest. My dogs know that outside is play time, and when we are inside that is their time to rest either on their beds or in their crates.
About: Loving dog sitter providing warm cuddles, gentle care, and a calm, cozy home where your little companion feels safe, happy, and truly loved every day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of cuddles and supervision. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, plus a park directly behind my home with plenty of walking trails for safe, enriching walks.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Carleton Place is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carleton Place
We couldn't be happier with the care Oakley received! He absolutely loves his visits with Nicole and Eddie and especially enjoys playing with their dog, Keyser—they have so much fun together. One of the biggest signs that Oakley is comfortable and happy is that he ate all of his meals without needing to be hand-fed, which is very unusual for him when in a new environment. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he felt so at home. We will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

There are 458 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Carleton Place. About 87% of Carleton Place sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Carleton Place commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 75% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
